| Popis: | This study examined the effect of peer teaching at recess on improving disc-throwing skills for kindergartners to children in Grade 3. 167 boys and girls were instructed in basic disc-throwing skills, backhand and forehand throwing techniques, and peer teaching. The practice group ( n = 73) was encouraged to practice with a disc using peer teaching for at least 10 min. during recess for 10 days. The control group ( n = 94) took part in other activities without a disc. Two-way analysis of variance with repeated measures gave significant interaction of groups and tests for girls in Grade 3 as well as significant main effects between tests in kindergarten boys and Grade 2 boys and girls. This study suggests that peer teaching for disc-throwing skills is useful for girls in Grade 3 and may be more effective for girls than boys. |
